What kind of energy does an electromagnet use to pick up metallic objects?

The answer is  the potential energy of the bob at position b is 1.47 joules.if the maximum height of the bob is 0.45 meters when it swings back,1.323   joules of energy was transformed to thermal energy.hope this

In atoms, the electron carries a negative elementary or unit charge; the proton carries a positive charge. the two types of charge are equal and opposite. in an atom of matter, an electrical charge occurs whenever the number of protons in the nucleus differs from the number of electrons surrounding that nucleus.
